It’s been an interesting summer for Brit, I think, shuffling around from summer program to summer program, instead of sticking with one thing all summer. This week marks the end of The Rose Theater program, which has lasted for 3 weeks. The program involved benraku puppetry, and she seemed to be really excited about it. Unfortunately, an illness is not allowing her to be in today’s performances, but I think she’ll be ready to go on Saturday.
In July, was a week of band camp, where kids from all over the school district came together to learn and perform together. It was very cool to see the final performance and how well they learned 3 new pieces within a course of a week.
Before that was 3 weeks of summer school. The reading portion didn’t go over so well, but the computer graphics half of the day was something Brit was pretty excited about. We learned new things from it, too. Let’s face it, there are a lot of fun sites computer graphics people know about that regular geeks do not. Or I may just be speaking for myself. 
So, next week, it’s back to school. It’s a whole new year in middle school, learning things like foreign languages and industrial arts, cooking, and participating in band AND choir. Sounds like a busy year.
October will be here before we know it, then it’s off to Seattle, and hopefully a daytrip to Canada. Yay!
